In fact, a recent poll by the Daily Star Online asked women how often they orgasmed during sex, 23% said they only orgasm every once in a while and, shockingly, 17% of our 2,500 respondents said they never orgasm at all.

Yet, if you are one of the lucky ones who can climax during intercourse, here’s how to tell the difference between a vaginal and a clitoral orgasm.

Firstly, a clitoral orgasm is achieved through stimulation of the clitoris – and can be reached without any vaginal penetration whatsoever.

A vaginal orgasm, or a G-Spot orgasm, is achieved through penetration alone.

A recent Reddit thread asked women to describe what the difference in feeling was between the two.

One woman went into great detail to describe the two: “[A clitoral orgasm] feels like really hot, but not unpleasant, water building up into a small tsunami surrounding and building up pressure inside my body, behind my clitoris.

“It rides up my abdomen, spine, and works down my extremities, leaving goosebumps in it's wake.

“The waves cause spasming along their route as my skin tightens; nipples get harder and more sensitive, my face and chest flush. I shake a lot, and the aftermath leaves me breathless.”

Give importance to foreplay: Keep in mind that intercourse alone cannot lead to an epic orgasm. You need to dedicate enough time to foreplay.

The user in question also described what a vaginal orgasm felt like, “I have no control over this one. If you're hitting it [the G-Spot], I'm done for. It makes the clitoral tsunami look like a pebble in kiddie pool. My whole body tightens like a spring, with more pressure building each time it's hit. When the dam bursts, I nearly blackout.”

The user added that if the man continues to thrust, she will orgasm again.
